ICC unveils logo for 2015 World CupThe International Cricket Council (ICC) has commenced preparations for the 2015 World Cup by unveiling the next World Cup logo.

The unveiling of the logo is as part of a symbolic handover from the successful 2011 hosts to their successors who will host the next World Cup after four years. Australia and New Zealand will together be hosting the next World Cup.

Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive has described the logo as "a dynamic logo which captures the cultural influences in the host countries."Twelve teams may contest the 2015 World Cup as the ICC is considering a compromise between the 14 teams of 2011 and a tight 10-team model currently on the table for the tournament's next edition.

The ICC's executive council is meeting in Mumbai on Monday and on the agenda is the format for the next World Cup, to be hosted by Australia and New Zealand, following the rousing success of this year's edition, which was won by India.
